Protein Banana Bread

I’m definitely not the first person to create my own banana bread recipe, nor will I be the last.  In fact, I debated even posting this because there are so many banana bread recipes floating about.  But since I have received many requests I decided to share the recipe I have been using lately.  Besides, this Protein Banana Bread is so simple to make, satiating and healthy that not putting it on my blog would be some-what of a crime 😉

Without further ado,  here’s my simple Protein Banana Bread recipe…

Protein Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 2 extra ripe bananas
• 3 whole eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 scoop Quest Nutrition Multi-Purpose Protein Powder*
• 1/4 Cup coconut flour
• 1/4 Cup white rice flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 Cup warm water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl (I used a fork).
3. Add in eggs and vanilla, mix well.
4. Add in all dry ingredients, mix well.
5. Add in warm water, mix well.
6. Pour batter in a lined bread pan.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.  (Time may vary if you are using a different protein powder.)

*I have not tried substituting with any other protein powder, so I’m not sure whether the results will be the same.  I have been using this brand/flavor because I’ve had it sitting in my pantry for a while.  I like that it is unflavored and doesn’t contain any sweeteners, therefore can be used in many recipes.

I often add extra ingredients to this basic banana bread recipe, such as granola, nuts or shredded coconut for some added flavor and texture.

3. Protein Banana bread is one of my favorite. I regularly eat this bread. Great protein source. I also take Tofu or chicken breasts as a great protein source.
